No. 456 Liu Zhang's Sorrow 1
At present, with the governance of Pangxi County alone, there is still enough strength to maintain the balance of power in Guling County and the surrounding areas.
However, in order to rescue Chengdu City, once Pang Xi really draws too many troops from his own jurisdiction, it will inevitably destroy the regional balance that has been maintained with great difficulty, and then cause the surrounding forces to covet Guling County.
Zhao Wei of Yongning County is difficult to protect himself, how can he have the spare strength to rescue him?
Of course, Zhao Wei's reply to the letter is a bit exaggerated, but in fact, Zhao Wei is staying in Jiangzhou City now, and it is indeed difficult to move an inch.
Dianjiang County is occupied by Jin Jue's army, if you can't recapture this place, you have to enter Shu first, which is a joke with your own life. And now that Jin Jue's army is short of troops in Sanba, Zhao Wei wants to take advantage of this opportunity to seize the entire Sanba, but his way north is blocked by the very fierce Banyu barbarians who stay in Anhan County.
Zhao Wei thought about sending envoys to make peace with the Banyu barbarians, but unfortunately, according to the current situation, Pu Hu and Du Huo also made the same judgment as Zhao Wei, and now if they want to enter Shu to participate in the war between Liu Zhangjun and Jin Jue's army, they are simply moths to the fire and bring about their own destruction. Only by taking Samba as soon as possible is the way to go.
Moreover, in the previous battle of Jiangzhou City, the two armies had already fought a real fire, and even Pu Hu and Du Huo could not contain the hatred of their subordinates for the Jiangzhou army.
On the contrary, they were also deflated in Dianjiang County, but they were not so angry, and the reason was that the stronger the army, the more they admired their opponents.
Yang Ren's field ability is not strong, but he is a very good defensive general, when the Ban Yu barbarians attacked the county seat of Dianjiang County, under the command of Yang Ren, the fierce Ban Yu barbarians did not touch the bricks on the city once.
Can this not make the opponent admire?
Today's barbarians in Danqu County have long lost the sharpness they had when they first came out of Danqu County.
As for the remaining five counties in the south of Yizhou, eighty percent of the territory of Jianwei County has been controlled by Jin Jue's army, and in the four counties in Nanzhong, there is only Yizhou County Taishou Dong and responded to Liu Zhang's letter of help.
After hearing the news that Liu Zhang's army was defeated outside the new capital, the leaders of the powerful barbarian tribes in the three counties, Zhu Bao, the leader of the Zhu clan in Yongchang County, Meng Chong, the leader of the Meng clan in Yongchang County, and Gao Ding, the king of Yue Junyi, must be secretly in contact and ready to raise troops at any time to stand on their own.
And Yonghong, the leader of another big family surnamed Yong in Yizhou County, also secretly sent someone to contact Li Hui's uncle Fu Xi, wanting to wait for Dong He to send Yizhou soldiers, raise troops with the Fu family, kill Dong He, and the two of them share Yizhou County equally.
In this regard, Ji Xi was a little moved, he actually didn't want to leave Yizhou County and go to Shu County with the reinforcements. If you follow Yonghong to stand on your own, you can easily get half of Yizhou County, why bother to follow Jin Jue, an unknown little doll?
"Uncle, do you know how Childe raised the army in the first place?" Li Hui saw that his uncle was moved, and knew that his persuasion was not good, so he changed the topic and said.
"How?" Sure enough, Li Hui's topic aroused Xi's interest.
"When Gongzi started his family, he only had two generals and a hundred Xuzhou soldiers in his hands, and this is like this, and this is like this. It only took him a year to destroy Song Jian, then expel Zhang Lu, take the entire Hanzhong County, and then attack Ba County.
Uncle, you ask yourself, if Gongzi raises troops to attack Yizhou, do you still have the confidence to hold here? General Li Hui heard from Jin Jue's army that he told his uncle all the great achievements of Jin Jue along the way.
"How is this possible? What's more, the four counties in Nanzhong are different from other places, there are many mountains here, and there are miasma and poisonous water in many places, and outsiders cannot gain a foothold here at all. Even if that kid has three heads and six arms, what can he do to me? When he said this, his tone and face were not as fierce as the meaning expressed in his words.
"Hehehe, the question of the four counties in the south and middle of Guanzhong, my nephew also asked the son. Gongzi said that once Chengdu City was breached by him, the four counties of Nanzhong would inevitably raise the anti-flag and stand on their own. Among them, there may be exceptions in two counties, Yizhou County has Dong Tai guarding, even if the reinforcements he sent out are all wiped out, and someone in the county wants to rebel, it is also tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg. There are good officials in Yongchang County, and the county governance will be able to ensure that it will not be lost.
Uncle you said, most of the four counties in Nanzhong are lofty mountains, and it is difficult for Han people to live here. But, uncle, do you know what Childe said? Childe said that why did he have to occupy all the territories of the four counties in Nanzhong? When the time comes, he only needs to send troops to occupy Dianchi Lake, Erhai Lake, Fuxian Lake, and a few places where copper mines are produced. How about it, uncle, what do you think of Childe's words? Li Hui looked at his uncle with a smile and asked.
"Hehehe! Where is Fuxian Lake? I, the old Yizhou, have never heard of the lake with this name. Ji Xi laughed three times, deliberately diverted the topic, and asked.
Naturally, my nephew hadn't heard of it, and Childe said that he had heard it from an immortal chief, and he didn't know the specific name of the lake in the local area. However, the lake has two characteristics, first, its area is second only to Dianchi Lake and Erhai Lake, and second, the lake is probably located near Yuyuan County. Uncle, do you have any impressions? Li Hui asked with a smile.
No impression that is impossible? Speaking of Yuyuan County, Ji Xi thought of Yonghong who sent people to contact him to raise troops together, this family is located in Yuyuan County, where there are not only copper mines, but also a very large lake in its domain. The sphere of influence of the Xi family was in Qujing County in later generations.
The transportation here is convenient, since ancient times, it has been called "the throat of the south", Qujing County is a very important passage for Yunnan to enter the interior and to the southeast coastal area. The mineral resources here are also abundant, but only a large lake like Fuxian Lake is missing.
Where there is water, food can be grown, and with food, the population can be increased, therefore, the strength of the Yong clan where Yonghong is located is stronger than that of the Fu clan, which is where the fundamental gap between the two lies.
"Hui'er, if I take Yonghong, can Gongzi give me the territory of the Yong family?" Xi asked with some urgency.
